He stated: "The pearl mullet is one of the most important values of this city. I hope this work will be placed in a spot frequently visited by tourists or by Lake Van, as it will add value to both the city and my art. I worked very hard for about 2.5 months to complete this. I used around 350 kilograms of metal sheets, construction iron, and car parts, and created 3,000 scales from metal sheets to give the surface a fish-like texture. People really like it and give very positive reactions."
Local shopkeeper Şahabettin Faran added: "Mutii is a true artist who deserves support. He brings life to scrap metal pieces collected from junkyards. People passing by his workshop stop, watch his work, and ask questions. His creations truly add value to the city."
